The Challenge

A €100M ambition, an ecosystem nobody could fully see

Vapo, now Neova, wanted to grow digital sales from €0 to €100M within two years. The challenge wasn't simply a new website — the organisation needed a clearer picture of its digital ecosystem across brands, business units, customers, and channels.

The Move

Start where the complexity lives Touchpoints, data, teams

I worked on customer research and journey mapping across 130+ digital touchpoints, helping make a complex digital landscape easier to understand.

Customer Research & Journey Mapping — Mapped 130+ digital touchpoints across brands, business units and channels to create a shared picture of the digital ecosystem.

Dashboard UX — Redesigned internal dashboards, reworking how complex data was presented so teams could understand performance more easily.

Channel Strategy & Architecture — Contributed to channel strategy and digital architecture for the €100M digital sales ambition, connecting customer needs, business objectives and the wider digital ecosystem.

The Work

01 — Customer Research

Built a shared view of customer needs across Vapo's brands and business units.

02 — Journey Mapping

Mapped the customer journey across 130+ digital touchpoints, surfacing where the ecosystem broke down.

03 — Dashboard UX

Redesigned internal dashboards to present complex, multi-brand data more clearly for internal teams.

04 — Channel Strategy & Architecture

Contributed to the channel strategy and digital architecture behind a €100M digital sales ambition.

The Outcome

A shared picture of a complex digital ecosystem

The research and journey mapping gave Vapo, now Neova, a shared view of a digital ecosystem spanning multiple brands and business units, creating a foundation for the channel strategy behind its €100M digital sales ambition.

Redesigned dashboards made complex performance data easier for internal teams to act on, supporting clearer reporting across the organisation.
